One of the most amazing naval museums that I have ever seen! The collections are SPECTACULAR. On the fifth floor there is an exhibit of sea shells that is unique and most impressive. What gemstone!! Bravo!!!

Amazing hidden gem Not so crowded like the super touristic spots But with great exhibits and a lot of history The museum could be a bit more interactive as it has a classical/old school structure
